When I posted back in July I had started getting emails but it only lasted a few days and then stopped on 7/25/18. I then started getting emails again on 9/19/18 and was receiving till I closed the pool on 10/6/18. I hadn't made any configuration changes so believe the problem is on the Pentair...

Just wanted to update you that I began receiving emails yesterday. Have received 3 so far. I haven't made any changes so I guess Pentair finally fixed the problem with the mail server.

Thanks for the update. I was pretty sure this was on the Pentair side but thought if you were receiving emails again it might be a configuration issue on my end. I'll try calling Pentair again and see if we can't bump the issue up the list. Also will report back if emails start flowing again.

Just curious if you ever got your email alerts working? I was getting them up till about the beginning of May and then they stopped. It took me awhile to realize and have contacted Pentair support a couple times but they are unable to fix. They originally thought problem was old adapter version...

Well I returned from vacation and the new plastic wedge arrived while I was away and I installed it today and seems to do the job and hold the light in place. However when I looked a little closer inside the niche it appears the bonding wire is no longer attached. That explains the extra screw...

Thanks OldPoolMan it looks like the wedge from Pool Tools would do the trick. Getting ready to go on vacation but will have to order when I get back so I can get this fixed.

I have a Pentair Light Model Number W-605860 and Pentair Plastic Light Niche Model Number V233298 in a vinyl liner pool. I don't know exactly how it happened but the cover plate around the light came off which I have a basic idea of how it goes back on with some new hardware. However the real...

The fuse that I removed from the power cell was a 10A/250V not a 12A.

I ended up having my local hardware store order a couple for me so I would have a spare. Just picked them up yesterday. Thanks for the offer of mailing me one though but I am back in business.

Radioshack was my first place to look but they only had 10A 32V slo blo fuses. I'll try a couple auto parts stores and see if I can get lucky. Thanks.

I noticed over the weekend when I was done cleaning the filter basket in the pump and restarting the system that my IC-60 SWG was not working. I discovered the fuse in the power cell was blown and am having a difficult time finding a replacement. The manual says it is a 10 AMP slo blo fuse. I...

I had some water end up back in my DE tank after I blew out the lines and am not exactly sure where it came from either as I had the Multi Port on recirculate when I blew lines and had already drained the DE tank. I assumed it might have been because my spider gasket was not seated correctly and...

Well I got the pool closed yesterday using the sp1022c plugs on the returns. Really had to tighten them down more than I thought to get bubbles to stop on a couple as I needed to use a screw driver shaft to get some leverage to tighten. Went real slow tightening as I didn't want to break...

I had the Multi Port valve in recirculate when I was blowing the lines so the pressure gauge on the DE filter was on zero. The valve is only a couple years old from when the pool was installed in 2010. It has not been rebuilt. I'll try rotating it through the settings to see if stops the leak...

This is my first time trying to close my pool and am bumping into a couple issues and would appreciate some guidance. When I attempted to close my pool I connected my compressor to the pump drain plug and pushed air into the system. I have 2 skimmers, 3 returns, and a main drain. I do not lower...

I did try turning off the main drain but that just caused the SVRS on the pump to shut it down. I hope to pick up a drain king tonight to try and break it loose. If I can't find one I'll try the rag. Thanks for the suggestions.

I opened my pool last Sunday and after testing water saw my CYA was low along with some other numbers being off. I am trying to bring things in balance and Monday night added HTH Stabilizer and Conditioner. I put in half a bottle into the skimmer and it seemed to draw into the line. Then Tuesday...

Thanks for the tips. I'll start working on it tonight.

I'm a new pool owner after having pool completed at the end of the season last year just in time for it to be closed. Opened it on Sunday and need some help figuring out where to start to get the water in shape. Would like to use the BBB method. My salt level was a little low at the end of last...

Here are a few pictures. They are supposed to come back tomorrow to form the decking, inspection on Thursday and concrete arrives on Friday.

No I decided against it for a couple different reasons. I did a little more googling of the company Xiom that I think actually makes the EcoFinish and didn't like some of the things that I read. Also the pool builder that was quoting did not really want to deviate from their standard equipment...

Thanks for the replies and very useful information. I will be meeting with the PB over the weekend to hopefully get some more details about the plumbing. I to am concerned about the finish they are quoting and that is why I was hoping someone had knowledge or experience. From some of my...

I am in the quoting phase of a pool build in PA about an hour west of Philadelphia and one company is proposing to build a concrete pool with a finish called Aqua-Brite which is a poly thermal pool finish. If can be found here at this website: http://www.ecopoolfinish.com I think this is a...
